Sports for Schools and World Book Day

Sports for Schools and World Book Day

Hillcrest pupils were not put off by the adverse weather conditions last week as they managed to combine World Book Day with a special Sports for Schools event with Olympic Diver, Rebecca Gallantree! Pupils and staff were put through their paces with an intense fitness circuit that any Olympian would struggle to complete! The children then got the opportunity to ask Rebecca questions about her career and her experiences as an Olympian and were even treated to a backflip by Rebecca!

Remember to get your sponsorship money in by the end of the week to provide Hillcrest with the opportunity to help Olympic Athletes and purchase some new sporting equipment for our school.

We are a partner of GORSE SCITT (formerly Leeds Teaching School Alliance) which offers a dynamic route into teaching, providing high quality Initial Teacher Training around Leeds. New entrants to the teaching profession are able to train directly with the SCITT in schools within The GORSE Academies Trust and also in partner schools in the local area.

The trust has an outstanding record of recruiting trainees from its programme to newly qualified teaching positions within its schools and graduates from the SCITT are in high demand in schools outside of the Alliance.
